# Discover Airlines

Discover Airlines, legally incorporated as EW Discover GmbH and formerly branded Eurowings Discover, is a German leisure airline headquartered in Frankfurt, Hesse. It is owned by the Lufthansa Group and serves leisure destinations around the Mediterranean, North America, Black Sea, Africa and the Caribbean from its bases at Frankfurt Airport and Munich Airport.

## History
### 2021: EW Discover

Discover Airlines started operations on 24 July 2021 as Eurowings Discover, flying from Frankfurt to Mombasa and Zanzibar with A330, having obtained its air operator's certificate. It adopted its brand name and original corporate identity from sister company Eurowings. It is considered to be the main competitor of German leisure carrier Condor (itself once owned by Lufthansa) which serves several of the routes Discover Airlines will also take up.
The carrier has already expanded its network to Punta Cana, Windhoek and Victoria Falls. Later in 2021 Eurowings Discover added flights to Las Vegas, Mauritius, Bridgetown, Montego Bay, Varadero, Canary Islands, Egypt, and Morocco. The fleet is supposed to grow to 10 A320s and 11 A330s by mid-2022.
In September 2021, Lufthansa announced it would move responsibility for several mid-haul leisure routes to Eurowings Discover. It based three Airbus A320-200s in Frankfurt serving five destinations on the Canary Islands in late 2021.

### 2022: EW Discover

In summer 2022, Eurowings Discover established its second operational base at Munich Airport, focused on short-haul operations around the Mediterranean.
In September 2022, Lufthansa moved some of its own routes to Canada to Eurowings Discover for the upcoming winter season. In late 2022, Eurowings Discover announced it would focus its long-haul operations at Frankfurt Airport, terminating their North American and Caribbean services from Munich Airport. Prior to this, the flights were already suspended as the airline took over North American routes at Frankfurt Airport from parent Lufthansa due to staff shortages.

### 2023: Transition to Discover Airlines

In September 2023, the airline formerly known as Eurowings Discover announced its new identity as Discover Airlines.

## Corporate affairs

It is headquartered in the Frankfurt Airport Center (FAC) in Frankfurt Airport, Frankfurt.
